Bristow Helicopters has existed on rumour for some time now, so it is very hard to tell what is true and what is false. I have to say I believe, in the past, they have started some themselves, like government leaks, to manipulate the workforce. A typical example is over the previous redundancies when everyone knew the number and that it was to be on age through the grapevine. But its OK now they have recognized BALPA but can a leopard change its spots. Not overnight I fear!!!
